The secret to perfect espresso? It’s physics

Our take

What is the secret to brewing the perfect espresso? It lies in the principles of physics. Drawing inspiration from gas and liquid flow in earth science, researchers have developed an equation that precisely calculates the speed of water percolation through ground coffee. This innovative approach not only enhances our understanding of espresso extraction but also highlights the intersection of scientific inquiry and culinary art.
